RandomCatface 16 Posted May 30, 2019 IMO LO should have changed it by now and moved on to other ways of revenue instead of scam boxes. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should. With 16 you know what is wrong and what is right. Don't come with your burger laws because they have no sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit : just thought of something - I haven't seen new skins for currently made uniforms or cars though. hmm. It doesnt have to be just weapons, it can be anything. If this does pass they will have to branch out theres no way around it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genobee 143 Posted May 31, 2019 Looks like the latest attempt to pass some type of legislation in the US on loot boxes has stopped dead in its tracks already: https://massivelyop.com/2019/05/31/lawful-neutral-why-josh-hawleys-senate-lockbox-regulation-bill-is-dead-on-arrival/ Unfortunate, but hopefully something a bit less open-ended shows up eventually. I mean I don't WANT the government involved with gaming. It'll get all kinds of messed up in some capacity or another. Problem is companies have abused gambling mechanics to the point where it may become necessary soon. APB hasn't been anywhere near as bad as other companies of course. Shocking as that may seem given the sheer number of boxes. There's in-game methods to obtain them in theory. Plus you don't really need any of those guns. They get floored by the base offerings. Unlike other titles that offered straight upgrades through random chance in exchange for real money. Thing is they will get caught up in this mess when something does happen. No question about that. Such a mixed bag of weirdness. APB could definitely stand to have a different monetization scheme. I do not doubt that in the slightest. Thing is I don't know what else they have to generate anywhere near as much revenue. Making money off a small title is rough. Then again.. I hate loot boxes. Yet I also hate government involvement in these types of things. It always somehow ends up worse. Bleh... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They could try the path of exile route and price things for ridicuous amounts, but poe also has content. Untill they start bringing quality content there in a hard place.
